Rock Man

When I did my practicum in grad school, my supervisor would sometimes go on and on about rocks. See, in his former life he had been both a science teacher and pastor. A deadly combo! But he was so great that the talks about rocks weren't so bad. I remember him telling me about the worst earthquake ever happening in the Missouri/Illinois area in the 1800's. I could hardly believe it! But he talked with such passion about it and the liklihood of it happening again in our lifetime. I thought, "no way!"

I woke up at 5:44am, a victim to NBC5 news text message (not to mention I accidently signed up for the wrong one so I only get Chicago news!!!)...and there it was. A 5.4 earthquake rocked the midwest this morning. I was only half surprised since good old Gary had educated me in so much more than counseling! WOW. So weird.
